Why Cooling Matters
A standard centrifugal pump cannot handle sustained thermic fluid circulation at temperatures above 200°C without a dedicated cooling arrangement. The TFC Series incorporates a water/self-cooling system that keeps the mechanical seal chamber and bearing housing within safe operating temperature limits, preventing premature seal failure and bearing damage during continuous hot oil circulation duty.
The water/self-cooling arrangement circulates coolant through a jacket around the stuffing box, seal chamber, and bearing housing. This maintains seal face temperature within the elastomer's rated limits even when the pumped fluid is at 300°C-350°C. Without this system, seal life drops dramatically and unplanned shutdowns become frequent in heat transfer circuits.
Mechanical seal faces are kept cool regardless of fluid temperature, extending seal life in continuous duty thermic fluid service.
Heavy-duty graded bearings with cooling arrangement maintain safe operating temperature even at maximum fluid temperature of 350°C.
Designed for 24/7 continuous thermic fluid circulation service in industrial heat transfer and boiler circuits.
Configure TFC Series
This requirement builder helps Shubham Industries engineers assess your TFC thermic fluid circulation duty. It does not select an exact model or commercial terms; final selection depends on thermic fluid type, operating temperature, working pressure, seal cooling arrangement, flow, head, and continuous-duty conditions.
Available Arrangements
TFC supply arrangements are selected around thermic fluid type, operating temperature, working pressure, cooling arrangement, and continuous-duty conditions. Two TFC product images are available; high-temperature seal and custom set images use clean placeholders until separate configuration photos are confirmed.

Applications
The TFC Series is used wherever sustained high-temperature thermic fluid or hot oil circulation is required in industrial heating systems. Its water/self-cooling construction makes it reliable for continuous duty at temperatures up to 350°C across refineries, food processing, chemical plants, textile mills, and desalination facilities.
Hot oil and thermic fluid circulation in refinery heat exchangers, process heating circuits, and heat recovery systems. Handles organic and inorganic thermic fluids at elevated temperatures.
Heat transfer oil circulation in food processing, cooking, frying, baking, and drying applications where precise temperature-controlled indirect heating is required. WCB or SS construction as duty demands.
Process heating and temperature-controlled reaction circuits. Thermic fluid circulation for chemical reactors, distillation columns, and heat exchangers where direct steam heating is not suitable.
Heat-set, drying, and finishing lines where thermic fluid provides consistent indirect heat at controlled temperatures. Critical for synthetic and natural fibre processing.
Heat transfer and thermal energy recovery circuits in desalination plants where thermic fluid carries heat between evaporator stages.
Primary and secondary hot oil distribution in industrial boiler and heat transfer systems. Handles the sustained flow and pressure demands of large-scale heating circuits.
For ambient-temperature clear water utility duty, CMB or SCC is more appropriate. For chemical and corrosive fluid duty at near-ambient temperatures, specify SCS, CPP, BPC, or FLC depending on fluid compatibility. For high-viscosity fluids above 1500 cP, specify the LBX Food Grade Lobe Pump. For fluids above 350°C or outside the verified operating range of the TFC Series, confirm the duty with Shubham Industries engineers before specifying.
Selection Guide
Selecting the correct pump for high-temperature thermic fluid duty requires matching construction, sealing, and cooling arrangement to the operating temperature and fluid type. The following comparisons cover the most common decision points between the TFC Series and other Shubham Industries pump series.
The TFC is specifically engineered for thermic fluid and hot oil service with a water/self-cooling system, heavy-duty bearings, and high-temperature seal and construction. The CMB Centrifugal Monoblock is a cast iron utility pump designed for clear water service at ambient temperatures. The CMB cannot handle thermic fluid, hot oil, or any service above approximately 80°C. Specify TFC for hot oil or heat transfer circuit applications.
View CMB SeriesThe SCS Series is a stainless steel sanitary centrifugal pump designed for food, dairy, and pharmaceutical process fluid transfer at or near ambient temperature. It is not rated for thermic fluid or sustained high-temperature hot oil duty. The TFC is the correct specification for heat transfer circuits requiring sustained operation at temperatures above 100°C. Never substitute SCS for thermic fluid service.
View SCS SeriesThe BPC is a back pull-out centrifugal pump for chemical and process duty. While it handles elevated temperatures in some configurations, the TFC is specifically designed for thermic fluid circulation with an integrated water/self-cooling system and bearings rated for continuous hot oil service. Specify TFC for dedicated thermic fluid or heat transfer oil circuits.
View BPC SeriesThe TFC handles thermic fluid at high temperature and low-to-medium viscosity. For viscous oils above 1500 cP where positive displacement is required, the LBX lobe pump provides gentle, controlled transfer. Confirm viscosity and temperature together when selecting between the two.
